If you own a dog/cat in the Town of Newmarket, you are required to license them each year. You can license your dog/cat online, over the phone, by mail, or in-person. Animal licensing in Newmarket is managed by DocuPet Inc. Visit newmarket.docupet.com to license your dog/cat and learn more about their Lost Pet System and local DocuPet Rewards Program that are included with your pet licence.

It is our responsibility to provide a safe community for our citizens and their pets. Licensing plays an important role in our ability to fulfill this responsibility. A licence allows animal control to identify your dog/cat, get in touch with you and make decisions that are in the best interest of your dog/cat should it become lost or injured.

The Newmarket pet licensing program is managed by DocuPet Inc. DocuPet provides a licensing solution that is simple yet convenient, and includes added benefits for pet owners. You can license online in less than five minutes and will immediately gain access to your profile, which is used to reunite you with your dog/cat in the event that they become lost. You will be in compliance as soon as you complete the form, and you will receive your pet tag in the mail within 8 to 10 business days.

Licences are required for all dogs/cats living in Newmarket. They must be renewed every year prior to the expiration date. Failure to present a valid licence will result in a fine.
